As the pandemic has made an enormous impact on everyone, and while we are working remotely, CACI is dedicated in continuing to provide the important services and resources as we always have.
Since the end of March, all of our trainings, peer reviews, Council and Board of Directors meetings and workshops have been offered as online venues so that we may continue to keep you and our staff safe. And while we can't wait to see you in person, CACI is devoted to making whatever adjustments are needed to ensure the absolute best services possible!

π€ Let's band together and shake, rattle and roll for CACI's new giving initiative, RockStar RoundUp ππΊπΎ |
|
What's unique about this program is it offers our donors an option that they have not had before, Round-Up! A "Round-Up" is the term we use to describe the spare change captured from automatically rounding up your transactions to the next dollar. Example: if you bought a coffee for $2.40 on your connected credit/debit card, we'd "Round-Up" the purchase to the next dollar amount ($3) and the change ($0.60) would be counted as Round-Up change. Round-Ups are then accumulated over the month and are donated either when you reach your "Monthly Donation Cap" or at the very end of the month.
Of course, you are always welcome to donate monthly or with a one-time gift! And, you can do that here as well!

CACI held our first annual Advanced Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Training digitally on November 18, 20, and 23rd. 31 therapists from across Illinois learned about helping parents who are having challenges, how to assist children with problematic sexualized behaviors, understanding complex trauma and traumatic grief, assisting children in foster care, and managing avoidance and fear in children. These therapists showed true dedication and passion by learning to best help kids across Illinois during these past three days of training!
